Dragon Declarations: a #quadrille #haibun

from *Nine dragons*

Do you fear me? I come, bearing the storm! Delight with me in wind and water. Or despair of me in monsoon and typhoon. Force me back into the cave, if you dare.

Or ride me!

deepening twilight

ascending and decending in

this life

Wonderful that you turned a Quadrille into a haibun, and a fine haibun Frank. Love the dragon image!

I enjoyed your haibun-quadrille from the perspective of a dragon – the dragon voice is awesome – and I love the thought of riding a dragon through a storm!

This is glorious – love that storm dragon, and the haiku is beautiful – like those great dark clouds you get in summer storms.

Oh, these lines are just wonderful, Frank:
“I come, bearing the storm! Delight with me in wind and water.”

A wonderful meditation on life’s choices. As we gain deeper understanding and experience we find our response to the call changes.
